This raised Chalet constructed by Rocky Meckes is located within the "beltway" of the Towamensing Trails community. Including the adjacent parcel, this is a rare opportunity to have a nearly new home on this side of the community on an acre lot! The community's location is within easy travel time by car, 90-120 minutes of the greater Philadelphia or NYC areas, making it viable for regular use as your vacation home or a home to share with family and friends. Properly licensed vacation rentals are permitted in the community and require proper licensing from Penn Forest Township and a community rental program fee. If more space is needed, there is the potential to convert the large storage room into another bedroom, providing you increase the septic size as well.
This well-appointed, nearly new home has four bedrooms and three full bathrooms and is on an acre of property spanning two lots. The home's open living space configuration is popular for personal and short-term rentals to offset expenses, should you desire. The gently used house is heated and cooled by six energy-efficient wall-mounted ductless mini-split heat pumps, one in each of the four bedrooms, one in the living room, and one in the family room. A water filtration system has already been installed. The main and lower living areas feature hickory hardwood flooring with a matte finish in the common areas and bedrooms and vinyl plank tiles in the full baths. Upstairs, you will find wall-to-wall carpet in the loft and secondary bedrooms and vinyl plank tile in the upper-level full bath. The primary living area offers an open-concept common area that exudes comfort and “aah” as you take in the home's natural light and architectural features.
When you enter the home, the living room's floor-to-ceiling stone-faced fireplace and vaulted ceilings give you the feeling of a mountain home getaway. The color palette of the bright kitchen with beautiful granite counters and plenty of tall cabinets for storage takes advantage of the natural light the windows bring in, even in the Winter. A single-door pantry for even more kitchen storage. The breakfast bar is a wonderful place to gather, enjoy conversation, and cheer with friends and family while preparing meals. The large dining area can accommodate large family gatherings at a single table. An oversized full bath with a laundry area and additional storage closets is located near the kitchen. The primary bedroom has direct access to this bathroom. The outdoor living space on the partially covered deck is accessed from both the front and side of the home in the dining area to expand your living space to the outdoors on this level. The covered portion of the deck keeps you dry when entering the home in inclement weather and allows for shaded areas for outdoor dining or conversation pit seating. The upper level features a spacious loft with a neutral carpet overlooking the living room and has the potential and flexibility for so many uses limited only by your imagination. The two nicely sized bedrooms have generous closets and neutral carpeted flooring. A full bath completes this level of the home. The spacious lower level has hard-surface flooring throughout. The large family room can be configured to suit your personal needs. The front yard firepit area awaits your gatherings and the creation of memories with friends, family, and neighbors.
